Re: Any idea what this part of the flower is?
Hi, it's not an orchid, but a violet, it could be Viola odorata, due to the rounded sepals, it's the small green leaves in the first photo. One can see stigma, style and ovary and the stamens are removed. What you are asking about is a kind of hair, which is probably part of the pollination, to catc...

Hi Heliozian, it is not an ascomycet as you have found but it is a genus of water mold, Saprolegnia which belongs to the group Oomycetes.

Re: Summer holiday - packing list for the microscopist
Hello everyone. When the holidays come, I bring both microscope and stereo microscope. It is the Wild M11 and M5, as well as tweezers, paper and bags to collect mosses in. This year it will be at home in Denmark that the holidays are held, so a trip around the country.

Hi John B. Happy new year Nice 3D-fotos of the capsules of Bonfire-moss or Funaria hygrometrica, your idea of making an inverse image of the peristome will not work, as a peristom can be built up, of several circles of teeth, so with Funaria there is an exostome that one you can see, and an endostom...

Hi John
It's look like, you have found the other subsp. Sand-hill Screw-moss (Syntrichia ruralis subsp. ruraliformis)
It's grows on sandy places or on concrete standings and corrugated asbestos roofs.

Hi John The big cells in the costa or midrib is call guide cells. I looked at Flora of North America vol. 27, and I found, that you can find, hydroids in leaves. All this and much more about morphology and anatomy can be found in Chapter 1, in the book. See below http://flora.huh.harvard.edu/FloraDa...

Hi John
You only find hydroids in the stem of Haircap mosses (Polytrichum/Polytrichastrum) and only a few other mosses , and in some liverworts, or in the seta of some mosses.

Re: Moss Hand Sections
Hi John B.
You have found Great Hairy Screw-moss (Syntrichia ruralis subsp. ruralis)
It's a common moss that grows on calcareous substrates on walls, rocks and sandy grounds.
It's nice that you've started on mosses, I'm a bryologist, and it's nice stuff you've laid up around mosses.

Hey Seb, fine pictures of a mushroom, which is not Galarina marginata, the spores have the wrong shape, they must be apiculate and verruculose, while you've photographed, is egg-shaped and smooth. It could be a different kind of Galarina. I have learned at university that you can taste all fungi if ...

Thank Lorenz and Gekko, for your comments about Nikon Optiphot, but what is the problem with the filter carriers (filter cassette), the fine focus gear and the coarse focus knob is easy to figure out, if it works.

Re: Nikon optiphot
Thanks for your reply, Lorez, I have the same opinion.
I forgot to ask about the quality of the lenses, since it's hard to find anything about those who sit on the microscope.

Congratulations on your new "baby". As bryolog can not do without a stereo microscope right now, I use a Zeiss IV (0.8 - 4X) zoom, but I hope one day to get a Wild M5, the ancestor for your M8. I used it when I was at university, lovely instrument.
